A little confusion, but still good

These cuffs are definitely good for the intro bondage user, if you're not opposed to slapping down the cash for a quality product. They're not too soft or strong; but they are in the middle of the road.

I bought this for a friend who was wanting to try out some bondage but not wanting to go full metal or fuzzy cuffs. His initial reaction was a little disappointed; very possibly because the cuffs pictured on the site ever so subtly appeared to be fur lined. Nevertheless, the product seemed to be perfectly functional and sturdy, yet innocuous looking enough for him to consider wearing them around in his day-to-day life.

The leather of the cuffs was a little stiff out of the box, but that was only an initial shock because we had simply forgotten that property of leather. After about a night of leaving them buckled closed at a tight notch the leather relaxed a little bit. I would say the cuffs appear sufficiently strong enough to keep even the fussiest of the submissive type bound; but anything too rowdy might risk fraying the leather over time.

One particularly important note is that these semi-require a lock, chain, or something to bind the D-ring to, although in an absolute pinch, you can loop one of the buckles through a ring; but I wouldn't suggest this for long-term usage because the buckle-straps aren't as sturdy as the rest of the cuff.

The cuffs themselves are a little big, so the more petite of users may find themselves feeling like they have huge leather sleeves, which may or may not be what everyone's interested in. Because of the size though, it can be difficult to buckle by yourself, which has the decided benefit of creating a very forceful interaction between the dominant and submissive users.

All in all, I'm happy with my purchase, even though there was a slight disconnect with what I thought I was buying and what I got. I would probably buy a pair for myself if I didn't personally prefer the feel of handcuffs; but these cuffs are noticeably less intimidating than my clinking metal friends.
